TRUTH ON CHRISTIAN GIVING

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: TRUTH ON CHRISTIAN GIVING

Today make the sixth day of our Christian giving series. So we continue from yesterday,

6. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT CHRISTIAN GIVING SHOULD BE DONE IN LIGHT OF THE INCARNATION.

Many Christians argue about whether the tithe (10% of our income) is still the standard for our giving to the Church (disputants usually want to show that less than 10% is fine).

Paul scuttles the whole debate in one verse. He says: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9).
Christ's self-giving is now the standard for our giving! We begin from the base of the tithe and aim for emulation of His self-sacrifice.

Our giving is to be inspired and instructed by Christ's inexpressible gift. In light of such a challenge, who could possibly satisfy himself with asking "how little a percentage is acceptable for me to give?"

Do you try to get by with giving as little as possible to the Lord, or do you give in view of the Lord's costly sacrifice?

Be Spiritually Inspired.

LET US PRAY
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU A SOURCE OF BLESSING TO THIS GENERATION IN JESUS NAME.
